Deep scaling and root planning procedure will surly help to solve this issue if it's a calculus ..but need to exclude root caries also. ...clinical evaluation should help in proper diagnosis

Hello black thing you observed might be stains and deposits around tooth or it could be root caries.If it is stains,scaling can be done or if it is decay probably filling can be done after thorough clinical and radiographic examination of your mouth.visit nearby dentist.

Based on the description that you have mentioned, you probably have calculus deposits and stains on the teeth which will require a session of teeth cleaning and root planing followed by a guidance about proper brushing technique for best gum health in the future....... the gum recession that has already taken place will not revert back significantly on its own and might require flap surgery for the same...... Regards.....
